It's off to work I went! Coming out of retirement was tough. Especially on short notice (one week). So, I ran around and tried to accomplish everything I had left on my to-do list. Didn't even come close. The to-do's will just have to wait. In these economic times when someone comes a calling with a job, there isn't much of a way you can turn it down.
There's that unsettling feeling when you start a new job. At least for me. It's the same feeling I had when I was a kid in school. The first day of the school year. Who would be in my class? Where would my classroom be located? Would I be able to remember my locker combination? Did I have cool enough new sneakers? I just couldn't sleep well the night before.
Last night my lovely bride and I sat in bed talking until almost 1am. She sensed I was nervous. So we tried to remember the seven dwarfs names (since my alarm was set to go off with "Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho" from the movie with Snow White and said dwarfs.
Sneezy...Dopey...Happy...Grumpy... Well we had four. Now what were the other three...
Gripey...no.
Cheesy...no.
Sleezy...no that was from the X-rated version
Foggy...
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's home from work we go
[Whistle]
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's home from work we go
[Whistle]
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr...6:30 already! Damn alarm!

Sir you are a lucky man. Heedless of time's passage you always refer to your wife as your bride. You are most blessed of mortals: it is always the springtime of the morning of your wedding day. I do take exception to comparing work to the first day of school. You of all people realize that on the job you don't have to deal with bag lunches, nagging parents, acne, dating, or football. Do you?
